Version 0.5 (17/11/03)  created the FAQs, adding the differences in Japanese
version of the game, and some Japanese names
This guide lists all the differences you might find in Japanese version of the
game Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven, useful if you think of buying the Japanese
version and wonder if it's worth the money or not ;)
Japanese version underwent 3 more months development than the other English
versions, so there are some remarkable changes.

and Others.

========================
1. Alternatives
[Rikimaru's Running Animation]
Whereas in the English versions of the game Rikimaru runs normal like in
Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, in the Japanese version, Rikimaru runs differently.
He is running with right shoulder a little behind, and he holds the sword with
his right arm as if he is dragging it. Left arm is held as a guidance, similar
to the one in the opening video of the game, when he is running through the
forest.
[Tesshu's Costume]
Tesshu has different costume in the Japanese version. First, the overall look
is lighter, and there are two color schemes: light blue (major) and red. The
sleeves are wide and his feet are bared, that you can actually see his
undergarment during action. He also wears some huge belt on his stomach, used
by the Japanese.
There is also a long needle sandwiched between his lips.
[Tesshu's Character Select Animation]
Tesshu also has different animation when you select him in Character Select
Screen. In Japanese version, Tesshu turns around, he raises his two arms and
then makes a praying stance, as he bows down.
[Red Jonin]
The Red Jonin model has been replaced in the Japanese version of the game. It
is now a ninja wearing white horned demon mask, with black color as the major
color of the cloth. I think the lower part of the model (from the belt to the
bottom) is basically the same. In the VS character select, he is referred as
Sword Jonin
[Blue Jonin]
The Blue Jonin model has been replaced in the Japanese version of the game. It
is now a ninja wearing white horned demon mask, with orange color as the major
color of the cloth. I think the lower part of the model (from the belt to the
bottom) is basically the same, except the color. In the VS character select, he
is referred as Claw Jonin
========================
2. Improvements
[Animating Title Screen]
Unlike the bland title screen we get to see in the English versions, the
Japanese version is animated, with sound effects. It's look nicer overall.
[Early Character Select Screen Background]
In English version, you are already able to see Tesshu in the middle of
Rikimaru and Ayame in character select screen, only that he isn't selectable
when you haven't unlocked him. In Japanese version, Tesshu is hidden by the
sliding doors when you have not unlocked him. Only a faint silhouette of him is
seen behind the sliding doors.
[Black Kunoichi]
Black Kunoichi model has been updated in Japanese version. The model is
basically the same, just that a black horned demon mask (does not cover the
mouth) with additional white hair has been added to her head. She is referred
as Jo-Kunoichi (expert Kunoichi) in the VS character select.
[Robot Soldier's Walking Animation]
In Japanese version, the robot soldiers in Amagai castle have different walking
animation, instead of having the same animation like guards appearing in
Echigoya level and the others. It walks more like a robot now, with legs raised
up high during walking.
[Cross the Ronin Village Additional Cutscene]
/Rikimaru level 4
In Japanese version, there is an additional cutscene when you successfully
reach the end of the level. The cutscene shows Rikimaru, looking at the big
gate of Amagai castle.
[Rescue the Kidnapped Princess Extended Cutscene]
/Rikimaru level 5
There is an additional cutscene put before the scene where Rikimaru hugs Kiku
and explosion occurs. Basically this additional scene explains how it happens.
Rikimaru uses shoulder thrust to throw Kimaira over to the lift where he came
earlier.
[Find Ayame's Imposter Extended Cutscene]
/Rikimaru level 7
The opening cutscene is extended in Japanese version. After spotting Rikimaru
jumping around the trees, Kagura arranges scriptures levitating in front of
her, and transform them into a troop of shikigamis before she begins to laugh.
[Escape from Amagai Castle Additional Cutscene]
/Ayame level 6
This cutscene replaces the still image with text in English versions, once you
reach the end of the level and meet Onikage, stuffed right before the scene
that let you choose 2 options. The narrator voice is still there though. In
this cutscene, we get to see Onikage attacking Ayame, only to be countered by
Rikimaru.
[New Option in Options Menu]
In Japanese version, there is an option to turn on/off the blood effect.
[New Loading Image]
When you reach certain areas in certain levels that need loading screen. You
will see that the loading image in Japanese version is different. It's a
colored 'Tenchu 3' (in Japanese). The English versions are missing the color
and the kanji '3'.
[Limestone Cavern Level Bug Fixed]
In the English versions, you can fall inside this 'Blue Hell' on a certain
place, and you'll get stuck inside for good. This bug has been fixed in the
Japanese version.
[Slow Walking Issue Fixed]
In English versions, pushing the left analog stick softly to walk slowly in
watery or noisy area still alert the guards, even if it's basically the same
with holding R2 while moving. This has been fixed in Japanese version.
========================
3. Removed
[No Decapitation]
None of your stealth kills in japanese version is going to get someone's head
decapitated now.
[Missing Heart]
You won't be able to see the beating heart pulled from enemy in Tesshu's front
stealth kill.
[Missing Head]
When you are playing as Tesshu and the game is over, you won't be able to see
Tesshu's chopped head in the retry/quit screen.
[No B-Side]
For this Japanese version is targeted to Japanese people, there is no B-side
language in this game, or other languages that might be included in specific
regions. There is still an English language option though.
========================
4. Others
[Subtitles]
Subtitles during cutscenes are in Japanese, no matter which language you
choose.
[Japanese menus]
For the game is intended for Japanese, of course all the texts in the title,
characters select, items select, missions select are in Japanese.
[Background Story Texts Sliding]
When you choose a mission, there is this still image with some effects, and
texts scrolling down as the narrator speaks, before you are sent to the items
select screen. In Japanese, the Japanese texts are slided from right to left.
[Hardware]
Ahh, and of course Japanese version will have different box covers, disc cover
and booklet.
